Why man is a model animal?

Answer 1

There are many reasons as to why man is a model animal, both from a religious and non-religious point of view. For instance, from a Christian's point of view, man was created in God's own image, and also given a soul, therefore we are a better animal, and deemed as superior to the other animals. This is backed up from Genesis 1 in The Bible.

However, a non - religious view would be that humans are much more inquisitive, and curious than other animals, and it is this curiousity which has allowed us to explore new technologies and methods, making our race improve. This means we are the model animals.

Answer 2

Man is an animal, a mammal to be general and a primate to be precise. Still, man is, seemingly, the most intelligent animal on the planet and has built a massive cultural edifice around himself with this intelligence.

Plants are sessile and autotrophs producing their own food, while animals are heterotrophs and mist consume plants or the other animals that eat plants.

Answer 3

Man is considered a model animal due to our complex cognitive abilities, language skills, tool use, social structures, and adaptability to various environments. These traits have allowed humans to dominate and shape the world in ways no other species can.
